He spoke about it at a press conference on Thursday, October 17, after participating in a meeting of the Euro Council, where he presented the Victory Plan. Zelensky noted that the Budapest Memorandum, which was to guarantee the safety of Ukraine after its abandonment of the nuclear arsenal, did not work. He stressed that Ukraine, which gave nuclear weapons, is now running a war, while other nuclear powers are safe.
"Which of these great countries, all nuclear states suffered? No? No, one - Ukraine. Who gave nuclear weapons? All? One? One is Ukraine. Who is fighting today? Ukraine. In conversation with Donald Trump, I told him: Yes, what is the way out? Or Ukraine will have nuclear weapons - and then it is a defense for us. Or we must have some alliance. In addition to NATO, we do not know the effective alliances today, "the President emphasized.
